The last weekly polls winner was Minority Report, which will be available this Saturday.
Reminder: movies that don't win does not mean they will never be watched, it just means they will be watched later. Please be respectful to each others opinions, we're all just here to have fun and watch movies :)

Went ahead and called my on this poll. He suggested that I choose Kingdom of Heaven. I've never seen that movie before, so I'm just going off my dad's selection. I trust his taste, though! :) While it looks CLEAR that Dunkirk will win I'm not upset at all - that's a good one. :)

Yes! Dunkirk is my second favorite movie after Almost Famous. I think it's Nolan's masterpiece and the best war movie ever. Good job Patrons! The other movies are fine, but Dunkirk is actual art for thinkers.

First time in a while that I voted for four options, but this poll has a bunch of great films. ...unfortunately "Dunkirk" isn't one of them and it looks to be in the lead. It's certainly not a BAD film, but I've never gotten anything more from rewatching it than I got the first time.

Cinderella Man would have been a great addition to this poll.

I think it's one of Nolan's worst. But, then again, the last of his movies I liked was Inception.

Semi-related to this poll - Time Bandits. Or really any Terry Gilliam movie...

Instead of watching The Revenant (which is a well made movie that features a committed performance by Leo, but suffers from the Hollywood machine unnecessarily fabricating the film's emotional core) go listen to The Dollop podcast on Hugh Glass and react to that instead.
